Autumn 2012 Cali Drop
I’m sure many of you would know we wanted to drop this last night. Basically one little thing wasn’t quite ready, so we had to push it back. Sorry dudes.
Anyway. It’s here now, and only a day late. I’m super excited about it all, hope you are too.
First up we’ve got some new Cali shades. This time around we’ve gone for a leopard style tortoiseshell frame, teamed with some brown lenses and die-cast Dishonour logo’s on the temples. They’re equally suited to driving or drinking beer. But probably not drinking beer and driving at the same time. Feel me. $45 shipped from the online store.
Along with the shades we’ve got some new hoodies with our rasta hand scrawled logo on the left-side chest. I think they all look pretty wild, but the maroon came out real dope. $80 shipped from our online store.
And the pièce de résistance. Our acid dye tees. Now this is something that we slaved away at for days, and days, and days. We doused these tees in acid, dipped them in a neutralising solution and washed them. But at the end of the day the work payed off, I’m super, super, super stoked on how wild these tees look. $35 shipped from our online store, each tee is one of a kind so holla.
Well that’s it. If you’ve got any questions just flick us an email, otherwise enjoy the latest.
Digital: Tenna on TCU
I’m super stoked to announce our first ad on The Come Up. Went up mid-yesterday afternoon.
There are two ads, one’s just a general branding ad that isn’t much to talk about. But the second one is of my homie Tenna. Ten Ten was the first dude we hooked up, so it’s kinda symbolic that he’s scored both our first legit print ad a few years ago and now our first legit digital ad.
Gnar back pedal crooks:
Much love brother. Here’s to another four or five years or however long it’s been.
2pac x Snoop Coachella 2012
Absolutely nothing to do with BMX, but this caught my eye this morning. Couldn’t help but post it. 2pac and Snoop teaming up at Coachella last night. And it’s not a re-dub. Legit.
Basically they used some bleeding edge digital recreation technology (courtesy of James Cameron) that created Pac’s likeness and voice. Then they teamed it up with some wild hologram technology, and voila, 2pac’s back..
Technology is a mind trip, hey. Theres some explanation of it in this article and this article and this article.
And there’s talk of 2pac’s hologram going on tour. I wanna hear The Uppercut live.
FIT trippin
Slightly delayed on posting anything about this, but Dullah and Tenna made a little trip up to Melbourne to hang out with the rest of the FIT Australia team over easter. I heard some good things from Dre about the weekend, keen to see the accompanying edit and mag article. Holla.
Easter Ads
Over Easter we ran a little 20% off sale, with a bunch of ads. I only posted the first one on here, but the rest got run on Facebook, Twitter, and our Instagram (@dishonourbrand).
But yeah, all the photos revolved around having fun or whatever, and I thought it’d be cool to post the photos on their own with an explanation of what’s going on.
AD ONE
If I remember correctly, it was super hot this day and we’d just been messing around in a ditch that had some sweet banks and a cool fence gap. This rail setup was just around the corner, and Sam was just kinda being a dick. He was trying to ruin the photo, I think, but in the end he made it.
In the background you can see Rhys, I can’t remember if it was before or after, but he nutted himself real good on this rail. Actually, more on Rhys nutting himself a few ads down.
AD TWO
This got shot right after Dullah did that Pegs-Easy-Fakie Bars a few months ago for the Cali 2012 drop. I got no idea what Mikey’s lookin at. And I’m just standing around with long ass hair, all stoked about the sequence.
Random fact: I think this is the only shot out of these ads that I didn’t take. Tave shot it on the second camera.
AD THREE
This was the first photo that actually got shot Easter Weekend, 2012. We were heading out to this bowl that is close down, but resides inside a swimming center. The only days the place is shut is Good Friday and Christmas Day, so we went down to see what it was all about.
Turned out to be windy as fuck, the flat rail we found was the opposite of slippery, and the school we went to for a rail hop had been knocked down. I wouldn’t call it a wasted drive to the ghetto but it was pretty close to being one.
AD FOUR
Actually I retract my comment about it being a wasted drive. This photo got shot right at the end of the day, and it makes me laugh every time I see it. These rails have pretty much been shut down, the only stuff that’s left (I think) are tricks/spins in, or out. And nobody’s managed to go up them yet, cause they’re tall and steep. It’s not impossible, you just need to go super fast.
Rhys thought it’d be a sweet idea to set up some benches before the rail and give himself a handicap to go up them. Didn’t quite work out.
I think what happened is Rhys’ front tyre got stuck in the grooves of the bench, he anti hopped, and nutted himself. Once again.
AD FIVE
The other day Dullah and I were clipping up for his upcoming park edit. Sah sah cute.
In Dullah related news, he went on a trip to Melbourne with the FIT Australia crew. Word on the street is shit got done.
AD SIX
I think this got shot a few months back, it was a super, super, super hot day and we were hiding out in a carpark watching Sam or Rhys knock out a pegs to over. Kinda long story, that. Rhys tried it, kinda gave up cause it wasn’t his day, then a week later Sam tried it, broke his bike, and then did it on Tave’s bike. I don’t think Rhys has ever forgiven him.
So yeah, that’s it. Hope you took something out of my ramblings. And hope you had a rad Easter break too!
Print: Will Gunn / 2020 #43 Ad
Will‘s a rad dude, one hell of a rider, and he’s got our latest print ad. Hop up onto that tall, narrow ass ledge to one hell of a drop.
And much love to Raine Turnbull for the photo.
